So our first week of Final Fantasy XIV has come and gone for us CE people. My first week was definitely a learning experience. I learned that a Cactuar's 1000 needles damage is not distributed between party members which definitely made for a funny moment watching five players all fall over at the same time. I will say that there are a few things I really wish would be fixed but I am overall pretty happy so far. The Ul'dah storyline has really got me hooked. I recently completed the fourth mission and I really want to go on to the next.

I'm wondering how my fellow Istorians have enjoyed their first week? Has anyone made any new friends? Are people enjoying exploring Eorzea?

The level 20 Uldah missions are so good! If you haven't done it yet you'll really enjoy it. Some random nerd knowledge about the origins of Istory was that the town was in the first world of FF5. It was a pretty low key place with little importance to the story but the Ramuh summon was right outside the woods next to the town and who doesn't like Ramuh? I suggest if there are any portable gamers out there to pick up FF5 Advance for the Game boy advance. It is a really addicting game.
